I'm so glad he included Ice Cube, especially coming from KOOL G FUCKING RAP, the East Coast Pioneer. So many times Cube is left out or his work isn't recognize as extremely fundamental. Cube essentially made NWA, gave Dre and Snoop a reason to Rap. Hell, Cube almost single handledly put the West Coast on the Hip Hop map. Much respect to G Rap for recognizing that.

Lupe fiasco, black thought, daylyt, los.... if we talking straight lyricism, you could even put niggas like budden, royce, crooked etc. So many lyricists to choose from to put in your top 10, it almost always comes down to preference.

Kool G Rap is definitely one of the illest.

It’s extremely unfair that G Rap doesn’t receive the same amount of respect as LL Cool J, KRS One, Rakim, Chuck D, Big Daddy Kane, or Slick Rick. I honestly believe he surpasses LL, Kane, and even Chuck D lyrically. And he fathered the grimy east coast street tale style that Nas, Pun, Mobb Deep, Jay-Z, Jadakiss, and so many others expanded upon. If it weren’t for G Rap, east coast hip hop would not be the same. Thankfully he gets the respect he deserves from those that were inspired by him. Nas has always given him props, Jay-Z shouted him out on “Encore”, and Pun kissed his ring.

Nas is relevant in hip hop... always in top 3 or 5 of every lyricist, legend

You are just a blind hater dude. “'Cause we see them dollar signs and let the cash blind us. Money'll brainwash you and leave your ass mindless, while snakes slither in the grass spineless.” I know it's a trend to hate Eminem now, but dude come on. He is one of the best lyricist ever.

Em fans like you give the rest of us a bad name.

I may no always agree with what ras says but I still appreciate his lyricism. Even if what you're saying is true, being racist against somebody has nothing to do with lyrical skill LOL. Are you serious? Eminem raps against hate & evil? Is that why he disses pop artists? that why he made songs dissing ICP, benzino, canibus, cage, esham, pacewon, everlast, vanilla ice, etc? Is that why he made songs about killing kim & his mother? Is that why he bite cage & tried to do self pity/horrorcore/poor/acid rap? I mean you're not making any sense at all. & I'd like you to show me how em's lyrics are beyond comprehension yet those mcs' lyrics aren't. Just because em has complex rhyme schemes doesn't mean his lyrics & actual content is complex. You keep saying you don't like eminme but you keep saying he's lyrically better than everybody else. Make up your mind. You either like him or you don't.

dante daniel Lane LOL dude something is seriously wrong with you. Are you really this stupid or are you trolling & pulling my leg? What you're saying makes 0 sense. You're telling me all black rappers are Muslim, rap against whites & even though you don't like eminem, he's lyrically better than any of them & his rhymes are beyond human comprehension & that he raps against evil. You act like eminem is a conscious rapper when he's been the complete opposite of it his whole career. I never heard anybody say eminem is complex in any way other than rhyme schemes. I hear that about canibus, ras kass,killah priest, k rino, gza, & virtuoso though. Some of those black rappers I mentioned even spoke against Lord Jamar (another black rapper) who basically said whites are guest in hip hop. I think you're the one who's high plus on pcp, bath salts, & mollies LOL. Its very obvious you don't even know half these mcs. 2 of them are fucking white you imbecile. I know you don't know shit about freestyle of the arsonists. Here I'll try to make you job easier I'll list these mcs & I want you to tell me 1 by 1 how they're all Muslim, hate whites, & are lyrically inferior to slim shady; Nas GZA Canibus Freestyle Virtuoso Celph Titled MC Out Loud Krumb snatcha Keith Murray OC Big Pun Ras Kass K Rino Afu Ra Inspectah deck Killah Priest Pharohe Monch Kool G Rap Killa Sin alright lets get to it, get busy LOL....

Say what you say, Eminem is ridiculous. Most people who say who say he went "pop" or he "sold out" are haters. I've never seen an artist to maintain a balance between mainstream and underground relevance as Eminem. Respected by both communities, Em will go down the history as the top 3. easily.

G Rap is in the top 5 ever

In your opinion

I love to here these old subplot hip-hop tales. Everyone has their own version of “how it all went down” so it’s always enjoyable to learn about how it all came to fruition. I am fortunate to have lived and breathed hip-hop my entire life of 40 short years. I wouldn’t trade a thing.

Much respect for noticing Cube and Scarface because they get left off a lot of lists....

I like Scarface, but why do people make him a top 10 lyricist? He can't f--- with anyone else on that list!

Luv dis interview....g rap will always be one of the best ever

True old school top ten list in my opinion is 01 DJ Mark the 45 King 02 Big Daddy Kane 03 Rakim 04 KRS-1 05 Roxanne Shante 06 Ultra Magnetic MC's 07 Lakim Shabazz 08 Beastie Boys 09 Mantronix 10 ....... any suggestions?

I feel bad for Necro. Also G knows what's up. Biggie and Pac are great rappers but not great lyricists. I would replace JayZ with Elzhi on my top 10 lyricists. Also, i'll try to squeeze in Canibus, AZ and K Rino. Also you guys might wanna stop sleeping on Necro. The dude sitting next to G.

You've got a real hip hop head's top 20 for the most part. The kind that pay's respect to a lot of the guys who influenced rapper's today. I don't feel like some of the guys from the golden age of hip hop are on the same level as the people that followed them though. I'd suggest mixing it up with some of the new guys. J cole, kendrick, and wale are some popular ones.

***** I've been a loyal follower of rap/hip-hop since the golden era (86-88 when I was 7-8 years old, I'm 33 now.) The first 3 are etched in STONE in my honest opinion!!!! KRS-One is a VERY influential and skilled lyricist, Slick RIck is the BEST story teller, Melle Mel was one of the first with that undeniable flow, Nas (90's to early 2000's) is a legend of course and melodic... that why I liked him. Rae and Ghost (Again 90's and early 2000's) are my favorite rappers EVER!!! I know more Rae and Ghost rhymes then Jay-Z rhymes. Not only is Jay-Z an incredible lyricist but he kept the fans on there toes with the great product and stayed consistent. PS: Tupac is the most influential EVER as far as his personality and work ethic but I think his lyrical skills where slightly underrated. Just my opinion. Peace.

***** Big Daddy Kane is a HIGHLY influential and skilled rapper/MC!!!! There's a video here on youtube where one of the members of Da Clipse has Kane higher then Rakim. I definitely disagree with that but I can kind of understand that argument. Kane is top three ALL TIME in my opinion. N.W.A is one of the greatest and influential groups of all time, none of the members were lyrical giants but as a group they're one of the greatest. Andre 3000, good lyricist but I don't know where I would put him in my list but there would definitely be a lot higher then him. As a group Outkast are one of the most creative and innovative groups of all time. Group wise Outkast is in my top ten.
